Referee Javier Alberola Rojaswho worked on the match between Real Madrid and Villarreal (2:3), did not enter information about the conflict between the visiting player Federico Valverde and guest footballer Alex Baena.
If Villarreal or Baena do not appeal to the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) competition committee, then Valverde will have a chance to avoid sporting punishment. Villarreal are very angry about this episode, but don’t know yet whether to contact this committee. If a complaint is received, the competition committee will look into the incident. Valverde in this case may receive a disqualification for several fights.
The police are aware of this conflict, but at the moment there have been no reports on Valverde. If Baena or Villarreal lodge a police complaint, the competition committee will no longer be able to deal with this issue, as it will move to the legal sphere.
